I took a passenger Lap in the Beast (amg gtr) with Andy Gülden. He wasnt just checking if everything was allright, he literally was talking and explaining all the time like a city tourist guide. I found i really great with all that explaining
@@WeirdBrick passenger didnt give an appropriate reaction when the driver aced the tough turns so the driver thought he might as well keep his eyes off the road Paul Walker style to scare the passenger one way or the other
I've actually done a GT3 RS ring taxi tour and I was quiet for about half an hour after the lap. People think they're fast or lap great times on Assetto Corsa with all the assists off, but the raw feeling of being in a GT3 with a competent driver at the wheel... it's something else. The G forces while braking and cornering... The speed when they corner. In your mind you know you'd crash in your own car at that speed, but the GT3 just handles it. It cost me 300 euro for 1 lap, but it was money well spent.
Hate on AC if you must, but you have to admit that sims like Assetto Corsa are great for getting to know the track. Even on the game, i tend to fatigue throughout the 2nd half of the track and can end up hitting a wall from loss of concentration. It amazes me to see how they are taking the turns and hear the throttle response on certain parts of the turn. Throughout this video i was amazed at when the throttle was being applied around some of the turns. Even on a Sim, I'm not confident to get back on the throttle on some of the turns. I'm like woah, that's borderline crazy. If only the passenger was more familiar with the track. He would know where the scary parts are 😂
@@monjier I don't hate on AC. It's my favorite sim racer and I play it weekly on witch my Logitech G920 with the 6 speed manual addon. It's great indeed. And yes after a few laps I start crashing. So those 24h drivers with stints of hours at a time... wow.
@@monjier The 911 being a rear engine car, in turns you don't want to lift off the throttle. This causes the suspension to unload and the back end will try to take over and drive where it wants to go. I think that's how it works. Brake before and accelerate through the turns anyway . Most street drivers do just the opposite.
Probably not, because Porsche say that ca 70% of (regular) GT3 owners take it to the track. And I think they are generally doing OK, as the Ring is "owned" by Porsche drivers, as you can see in virtually any Ring video. It is a true drivers car, if you go anywhere in the Alps that is the #1 car for people who drive for fun, or if you go anywhere where there are driving roads, the Porsche count is always high.
Yeah, not gonna lie, Porsche’s actually don’t really fit that profile. A lot of people with Porsche’s like them because they drive really well. And not everyone has access to the ring in their Porsche’s either 😂 if only that were the case. Now if you want to talk about cars built for speed that are never driven, take a look at basically any Italian supercar.
beyonder Only the 2nd lap i have ever watched all the way through. The first was the Vipers 7.01?? They kept trying to get a lap in but bad weather stopped them. Then thet asked the track to buy 1 last slot and they got 1 cleam run in. The 7.01 i belleve
Getting to have Kevin Estre take you around the Nordschleife in a 911 GT3 RS is a once in a lifetime experience!! Most people on this planet can't even put down that kind of time in Assetto Corsa much less in real life!!!! That must have been amazing

Impressive! This is the only driver I see in a TH-cam video who could chat with his passenger so frequently, yet still drive flat out! The other drivers fully focused on driving without a single word.
@@UhrenErich Well, he is a professional racing driver and Porsche's test driver. The Autobahn was probably his second home at some point. Lol I bet you, he could drive that track at normal speeds with his eyes closed. If that is what you do 10 hours a day for 10 years. You're bound to get comfortable riding at ridiculous speeds. Same goes for fighter pilots. No stress, just another day, landing a fighter jet on an aircraft carrier at night with crosswind. You just get used to it.
I have driven three different Porches and they are amazing. Kevin is so casual talking and gesturing with his hands. This would be the most awesome absolutely terrifying experience ever in a car.
This is one of the greatest videos on the internet . I'm emotional right now. I'm going to go drive my sled around Lake Hodges right now acting like Kevin (minus 135mph). Can you imagine Estre running from the law in LA or anywhere with a freeway in a GT3 dumped sled with or without traffic...all on an GoPro!
traveling to Germany, to the Nordschleife, to ride in a high end Porsche, driven by a professional (preferably @Kevin Estre!?), has now officially made it to the top of my bucket list. absolutely incredible, gentlemen. bravo.
I have a feeling my heart is beating faster just watching this video than Kevin’s was while driving it. What an amazing driver. And the car is a masterpiece. Looks like a day to remember forever - thank you for sharing the video!
@@jonasmink2426 I agree. Not sure I could ride with him. Too many looking at the passenger and too casual . And yes I understand he is super human, but and i have seen the underside of too many 911s and Porsche does not pay me to do it.
Such an awesome video! Incredible driver and car combination! 1:47 - When Andrew realised Kevin definitely was not going to be taking it easy this lap!
Absolutely stunning. I haven't seen such a talented driver on a Porsche in Nordschleife before. Most of the corners are passed over 200 km/h. Incredibly insane. Andrew, you are a lucky man.
A great display of relaxed concentration & spectacular driving. One key to remember while at high speeds (in karts, cars, bikes, etc.) is to keep the neck and shoulders relaxed. And look way down the road especially through the twisty-bits. That takes gobs of practice. Important not to target fixate as well - target fixating leads to mistakes and crashes.
Just shredding the ring, having a casual chat. No big deal 😮😉🤣 Guys like this are amazing. I've taken several Porsche driving courses, and still am not able to fathom how good guys like this really are. Much respect.
Guy is a boss, love that one turn with one hand on the wheel chatting like he was on a casual drive down the blvd! Great car and engine, love the 911s.
I always notice with true racers the difference of short, quick, purposeful movements of the steering wheel in relation to most of us operating it in more of a smooth Sunday-drive type of way. We become to focused on comfort over our driving years and overcoming that seems a good place to start in becoming a better racer (to whatever degree one takes that).
And this would have me screaming for the entire 7 minutes and 15 seconds Kevin was actually "driving" on the Nordschleife :-))... A stunning display of driving with not the slightest bit of envy from me.
What makes this run truly impressive is that video of a speed run never looks as fast as it did in real life. And yet, this one looks freaking SCARY! Consider me Very Impressed, Sir!
I love how casual the driver is while going around a turn, driving with one hand, and the engine tacked out. The other guy is like, "ya ya, I love it, ya,"
When anyone makes a task look as easy as this you know they are supremely good at it - this guy drives with a nonchalance only the truly gifted display. The non-gifted can practice as long as they like and this level of excellence will forever allude them!
Wonderful to see a master at work, shifting the pdk paddles like they are piano keys and placing the car so exactly on the track without having to even look at the road. 'I leave the TC on as it's easier on the tyres', what the heck must being hard on the tyres look like!
The Best lap I ever Seen un Nürburgring. Is unreal how fast this man can be. He's skills are really incredible. Is not only speed, the Way he drives its easy and relax.
Getting sit next to Kevin on the Nurburgring is probably one of the greatest experiences ever. I think it would alter anyone's perception of fast driving. A man can dream.
@@farmerkevin on one hand roller coasters pull 3g's.... (there's a roller coaster than actually pulls 6) this car would only pull a little over 1g at most...... however rollercoasters are probably still safer................ So you could argue that just for the G force that rollercoasters pull way more......... But yeah this definitely tops that. especially since for the most part even professional drivers can be scared passengers because of how people just have slight differences in their driving styles.
Same... That last one was like watching a middle aged man 100lbs overweight trying to learn how to surf. This was like watching an old pro take on Mavericks.
Mr Andrew, you are an absolute beast on this track. Thank you very much for sharing, I enjoyed your video very much. Looking forward for many more to come.
I keep revisiting this video! Thanks for uploading. I must say what an amazing driver but you were also a perfect passenger for such a thrasher of a lap, good on you man! Cheers.

Lol I bet you, he could drive that track at normal speeds with his eyes closed. If that is what you do 10 hours a day for 10 years. You're bound to get comfortable riding at ridiculous speeds. Same goes for fighter pilots. No stress, just another day, landing a fighter jet on an aircraft carrier at night with crosswind. You just get used to it.
I know right, I was cracking up. My hands would be glued to the steering wheel.
Driver: fire proof suit, HANS, full face helmet, boots.
Passenger: open face helmet!
don't want a helmet to interfere with a barf bag
Driver said he is doing this all day long, passenger only on one trip.
@Gary Damn good point. I didn't even consider that even though it should have been obvious! Lol
I have driven three different Porches and they are amazing. Kevin is so casual talking and gesturing with his hands. This would be the most awesome absolutely terrifying experience ever in a car.
This is one of the greatest videos on the internet . I'm emotional right now. I'm going to go drive my sled around Lake Hodges right now acting like Kevin (minus 135mph). Can you imagine Estre running from the law in LA or anywhere with a freeway in a GT3 dumped sled with or without traffic...all on an GoPro!
traveling to Germany, to the Nordschleife, to ride in a high end Porsche, driven by a professional (preferably @Kevin Estre!?), has now officially made it to the top of my bucket list.
absolutely incredible, gentlemen.
bravo.
imagine how fast he could go if he knew the track and didn't use the navigation.
LOL are u serious?? He’s a pro driver and did drive this track couple of 100 times u jerk

Benjamin M r/whoooooshh
Looooool
The driver is out of this world.
I have a feeling my heart is beating faster just watching this video than Kevin’s was while driving it. What an amazing driver. And the car is a masterpiece. Looks like a day to remember forever - thank you for sharing the video!
This is why the GT3 and GT3 RS are so loved and bought, because it does everything: Perfect.
3:26 casually puts finger on a dash doing 270km/h
And he stuck his arm through the steering wheel to do it.
@@slayer8actual yeah that is even better
I think that was quite stupid but who am I to judge Kevin estre
274..
@@jonasmink2426 I agree. Not sure I could ride with him. Too many looking at the passenger and too casual . And yes I understand he is super human, but and i have seen the underside of too many 911s and Porsche does not pay me to do it.
Such an awesome video! Incredible driver and car combination!
1:47 - When Andrew realised Kevin definitely was not going to be taking it easy this lap!
Cheers - yes 👍 he was flat out straight out of the pits.
Absolutely stunning. I haven't seen such a talented driver on a Porsche in Nordschleife before. Most of the corners are passed over 200 km/h. Incredibly insane. Andrew, you are a lucky man.
Literal goosebumps when he tears through the curves. What a lap!
What a ride, Kevin E looks like a guy who could drive at race pace for 24 hours!Laid back, talking yet real quick. GT3 RS is my new favourite porsche.
Indeed, he did 28 flat out laps like this in one day - no problem for him!
This is therapeutic during lockdown
A great display of relaxed concentration & spectacular driving. One key to remember while at high speeds (in karts, cars, bikes, etc.) is to keep the neck and shoulders relaxed. And look way down the road especially through the twisty-bits. That takes gobs of practice. Important not to target fixate as well - target fixating leads to mistakes and crashes.
Just shredding the ring, having a casual chat. No big deal 😮😉🤣
Guys like this are amazing. I've taken several Porsche driving courses, and still am not able to fathom how good guys like this really are. Much respect.
Guy is a boss, love that one turn with one hand on the wheel chatting like he was on a casual drive down the blvd! Great car and engine, love the 911s.
I always notice with true racers the difference of short, quick, purposeful movements of the steering wheel in relation to most of us operating it in more of a smooth Sunday-drive type of way. We become to focused on comfort over our driving years and overcoming that seems a good place to start in becoming a better racer (to whatever degree one takes that).
And this would have me screaming for the entire 7 minutes and 15 seconds Kevin was actually "driving" on the Nordschleife :-))...
A stunning display of driving with not the slightest bit of envy from me.
What makes this run truly impressive is that video of a speed run never looks as fast as it did in real life. And yet, this one looks freaking SCARY! Consider me Very Impressed, Sir!
At 3:10 lol wtf. Look at the precision how amazing ! Props for this driver big time.
I love how casual the driver is while going around a turn, driving with one hand, and the engine tacked out. The other guy is like, "ya ya, I love it, ya,"
9:43 what a parking lot in the heaven looks like.
3:45 245 kmh through the foxhole with one arm on the wheel while he shows to passenger how wavy the road is. Amazing...
What a good symphony he played, I just loved the engine sound!!! I heard the engine expressing joy. Very Beautiful!!!
"Keep the TC on - saves a bit of the rear tyres" - solid advice! I'm no longer hitting the pit stops too early in Gran Turismo 7!
Since the first turn, you could see how amazing this driver is. Great balance, road width usage, perfect...
He is one of the best gt3, gtlm drivers on the planet.
When anyone makes a task look as easy as this you know they are supremely good at it - this guy drives with a nonchalance only the truly gifted display. The non-gifted can practice as long as they like and this level of excellence will forever allude them!
Dude was having a conversation, looking in a different direction, one hand on the wheel, and slayed that apex perfectly.
That’s what you get with one of the best race drivers around.
One of my favorite videos of a Porsche ever 🎉
Wonderful to see a master at work, shifting the pdk paddles like they are piano keys and placing the car so exactly on the track without having to even look at the road. 'I leave the TC on as it's easier on the tyres', what the heck must being hard on the tyres look like!
If he'd turned the TC off the tyres wouldn't have done the 20 laps.
it's my dream to drive there. currently logged in over 15k miles on nurburgring through gt6 simulator. cant wait to trek out there!!!
RayDawg 4200 dont worry you are gonna total your car.
i dont remember i ever enojoyed a lap more than this , i actually never remember finishing watching any Nordschleife lap except this one!
Check out the RUF Porsche video from the 1980s
The Best lap I ever Seen un Nürburgring. Is unreal how fast this man can be. He's skills are really incredible. Is not only speed, the Way he drives its easy and relax.
Getting sit next to Kevin on the Nurburgring is probably one of the greatest experiences ever. I think it would alter anyone's perception of fast driving.
A man can dream.
I love the hand grip on the door handle Andrew when you realise things may be 'spirited'. Fantastic car...one day.
One of the key things here is how lightly he's holding the steering wheel. Deft little touches. Totally relaxed.
To hell with the Roller Coasters at Disney, I'm signing up for this.
This is a bit more costly I'm afraid. One BTG lap as a co-pilot in a GT3 RS will cost you 270 euro/315 dollar.
Disney is for kids and the mentally challenged. Fast cars are for proper adults.
Lol! I agree... $315 for the experience and lap of the lifetime? Sign me up! The plane ticket though... umm never mind.
Glad I live in Europe, I could just drive there
@@farmerkevin on one hand roller coasters pull 3g's.... (there's a roller coaster than actually pulls 6) this car would only pull a little over 1g at most...... however rollercoasters are probably still safer................ So you could argue that just for the G force that rollercoasters pull way more......... But yeah this definitely tops that. especially since for the most part even professional drivers can be scared passengers because of how people just have slight differences in their driving styles.
he is an absolutely MAD MAN. the way he is driving is out of this world
This is my favorite Porsche video in Nürburgring
albertosamaniego Thanks, glad you enjoyed it! Some amazing driving by Kevin in a great car.
* cough * 919 evo tibute * cough *
You should watch the 919 Record @ Nürburgring/Nordschleife.
Very very fast, very amazing!
I just watched dodge hellcat on Nurburgring and im cleansing my soul.
Hahahhaahah same
I got here after watching that video loool
@@Akashsk8 same hahah
bahahah I seriously couldnt bring myself to click on that video but it was suggested and now im here. Must be the Porsche gods saving us all from sin.
Same... That last one was like watching a middle aged man 100lbs overweight trying to learn how to surf. This was like watching an old pro take on Mavericks.
Mr Andrew, you are an absolute beast on this track. Thank you very much for sharing, I enjoyed your video very much. Looking forward for many more to come.
This is phenomenal. It also makes me realise that no matter how hard I try, I'll never be as fast as Kevin Estre 😂
surrender is not an option
The driver is an artist. Zero mistakes.
I keep revisiting this video! Thanks for uploading. I must say what an amazing driver but you were also a perfect passenger for such a thrasher of a lap, good on you man! Cheers.
This guy is better than the stig.
its his cousin
The stig call him master
Some say that guy is son of Stig and porsche 911 targa
Chuck Norris thought this guy how to drive...😜
Better than Perry McCarty ? Lol......
El circuito mas hermoso y emocionante del mundo!!!, The Ring!, el Infierno Verde!!!, es mi sueño dar una vuelta ahi, con el auto que sea!!!. Es fantastico, me sentiria mas vivo que nunca estando ahi, respirando ese mismo aire!, GRACIAS por el video!, fantastica vuelta y excelente Tiempo!. Saludos.
my wife drives like this when there is a sale at the shopping mall.
Lol

HA!
🤣🤣🤣
She might have big balls
Absolutely love this. The trust and respect that is involved is impeccable. Engineering at its finest, confidence in one with control. Too bad we can’t have the same with our leaders of government.
Very relaxed, notice the hands on the steering wheel. Great touch!
FOR SALE: Gently used Porsche, Low Miles, Used only for the occasional weekend drives :)
😂😂😂😂🌝🔥
first lap on the nordschleife..getting a Kevin Estre Lap. Everything after that will be slow
Wow that was awesome. Hard to believe that was filmed in real time and not sped up in some way. Porsche is an entirely different level than other cars I've seen videos of at this track.
